As I was driving home from work yesterday, I noticed my brake pedal seemed to get firmer and firmer. It got the point where just tapping it slightly would engage the brakes, as though there was no more travel in the pedal. When I got home I noticed all four wheels were very hot to the touch so the brakes had clearly not been fully releasing. I let it cool down and checked the pedal and it felt normal but now I'm worried about driving it.
What could cause this? |

Sounds like MC issue. Maybe just blockage? I did mine last year. Pedal was going to the floor. I bought a 17mm from Pelican Parts. Lots of debate on stock 17mm vs 911 19mm. Be sure to bench bleed before install. I could not get the air out until I used a pressure bleeder. Also, getting the tubes back in the top of the MC is not easy. Could be a trick?
